"Grandpa, why did you make me dress so formally?

Xiao Aochen, who has always dressed very casually, is now dressed like a young master of a family, and when he saw that the people in the entire Ghost Valley were here, he asked Huangfu very puzzled.

Huangfu touched Xiao Aochen's head with a pampering look, and explained softly: "I found a gentleman for you, and we are going to meet him now." ”

Hearing that it was a gentleman, Xiao Aochen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and muttered: "Why do you want to find a gentleman? If you want to find a master, I also think that I have learned all the tricks, and I practice so hard every day, but I still can't beat people, and any uncle and uncle on the island can put me down in three or two moves." ”

"That's not in a hurry, the most important thing for you now is to lay a good foundation and sharpen your knives without cutting wood. ”

"Then what does this gentleman want to teach me? Writing, painting, and poetry? Can't you teach me all these grandfathers?"

"No, he will, I won't, grandpa I have lost in this area in my life, and I have lost very badly, you have to respect him as much as you respect me, learn from him well, learn seriously, you know?"

The emperor who was asked about the sore spot sighed a long sigh, and said in his heart If I had the mind of a thousand-faced person, I would not even notice that my wife had changed her mind, and I stupidly sent it to the door to humiliate the villain of Taixiao.

Xiao Aochen didn't know the past of Huangfu Jin, let alone the grievances between Huangfu Jin and Tangtai Xiao, he was confused when he heard it, and said in his heart that apart from martial arts, what would grandpa not do? Seeing grandpa so solemn, it must be a great ability, and a strong curiosity suddenly rose in his heart.

"Well, Chen'er remembered!"

"Sir, the ship is coming!"

"Let's go, you guys come with me to greet you, and from now on, I'm going to add another person to my Ghost Valley. ”

A thin middle-aged man got off the boat and strode towards Huangfu Jin and others, this middle-aged man looked about fifty years old, dressed in a green shirt, with a pampered and humiliated look, and seemed to have an indescribable charm, especially those eyes, deep as the sea, seemed to hide countless untold stories, out of respect for Huangfu Jin, the thousand-faced man did not change his appearance, showing his true face that had never appeared on the rivers and lakes.

"Mr. Lao welcomes him personally, and he is ashamed to be late!"

Huangfu smiled heartily, took the wrist of the thousand-faced man, and said as he walked: "You help each other, how can I not come to greet you?" Go, I asked Aqi to prepare the wine and food, and wash the dust for you, the dishes he made will definitely satisfy you!"

"With the favor of Mr., join the Ghost Valley, and have nothing else to ask for in this life...... I've seen you all in my life. ”

The thousand-faced man was dragged away by the emperor, unable to salute the people present, so he could only keep nodding his head.

"We don't have so much red tape in Guigu, all of us here are our own people, and I'll introduce you one by one at the wine table in a while, Chen'er, don't come to see Mr. yet." ”

"Chen'er, meet Mr!"

It was another admonition, and it was a personal welcome, and he actually asked Uncle Zheng to prepare wine and food, Aochen can be regarded as a deep understanding of how much the emperor attaches importance to the thousand-faced people, and he didn't dare to be negligent at all, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted uprightly.

"This is the heir of the gentleman, right? Okay, that's good...... I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare a meeting gift, so I was really embarrassed. ”

The thousand-faced man helped Xiao Aochen up, looked at it seriously for a while, touched all parts of his body, and said slightly apologetically.

"It's already the best gift for you to be his husband!"

............

In order to free up time for Xiao Aochen to learn from a thousand faces, Huangfu even did not hesitate to reduce Aochen's time to practice martial arts, this formation made Xiao Aochen even more curious, and even the four girls could not come together secretly, at this time Xiao Aochen who was in the courtyard was both nervous and excited, and his eyes widened and looked around, hoping to find something related to the class.

This is a very simple courtyard, some flowers and plants are planted in the yard, there is a stone table next to it, there are a few plates of dried fruit snacks on the table, Xiao Aochen is sitting there seriously, looking at the thousand-faced man without blinking, well-behaved as if he has changed a person.

The thousand-faced man was not at all as strict as an ordinary gentleman should be, but he was very friendly, but this made Xiao Aochen even more nervous, the person who grandpa invited back so ceremoniously and went to greet him in person, could it be an ordinary person? Now there are no props in this small courtyard, and he is more and more puzzled about what this gentleman wants to teach him.

"Don't be nervous, my class is very simple and easy, just talk to me and tell you some stories. ”

"I'm not nervous, I'm serious, grandpa asked Chen'er to learn from Mr. ”

Because the emperor has repeatedly told him to learn from the thousand-faced people seriously, and he is not familiar with the thousand-faced people, so Xiao Aochen does not have the usual laughing and playful appearance at this time, listening to the words of the thousand-faced people, but he doesn't believe it at all, chatting and listening to stories can learn skills? Who believes it? Every time grandpa comes up with a new trick to trick him, he is also coaxing people like this.

"Hehe, my ability is only affordable to Mr. Huangfu, as long as Chen'er is willing to learn, I will have no reservations. ”

"Thank you, sir, but what is the gentleman trying to teach me? I don't think there's anything here......

"I have a lot to teach you, it's very miscellaneous, it's all in my head, I'll teach you slowly little by little, you're so smart, it's going to be easy to learn. ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment. ”

"The first lesson I taught you is to observe the environment, no matter where you go, you must understand the environment you are in, as well as the people and things around you, only by understanding the surrounding environment, you can do things with half the effort. ”

Xiao Aochen agreed with the words of the thousand-faced man, but he was a little disapproving, because this is what everyone does, just like when he first came in, he had already looked at everything in the courtyard.

The thousand-faced man understood what Xiao Aochen was thinking, smiled casually, and said lightly: "As soon as you came in just now, you kept observing me and observing everything in the yard, so I ask you now, what things did I move on the table just now?"

"Mr. just grabbed a handful of almonds and put them on the peanut plate, and then picked up a piece of ice cream, but put it back again, and went to get the fried chestnuts instead, but the fried chestnuts may be too hot, so Mr. put them in the corner of the table to cool!"

Xiao Aochen had learned the Guigu Heart Sutra, and the emperor had taught him, so he naturally couldn't help it, and after thinking for a while, he carefully said everything he saw.

"Hehe, sure enough, he is the heir of Mr. Huangfu, and he observes it very carefully, but if you look at the table, where are the almonds on the peanut plate?"

"Yes...... Where's the almond?"

Xiao Aochen was about to refute, raised his hand and pointed to the plate containing peanuts, but was stunned to find that there was not a single almond in the plate, and he was stunned for a while, and began to recall everything just now.

"Actually, I didn't put the almonds in the peanut plate just now, just to make a show, in fact, I secretly put the almonds into my sleeve, but at that time my left hand went to get the ice cream, and you put your attention on my left hand, and you subconsciously thought that I put the almonds in the peanut plate, which is called preconceivence, which is also one of the easiest mistakes for people. ”

The thousand-faced man explained very calmly, not complacent, not even the expression on his face changed, still so peaceful.

"Is the gentleman trying to teach me what kind of mistakes I can't make?"

Xiao Aochen carefully recalled what he had just seen, combined with the words of the thousand-faced man, and nodded heavily, it was indeed his own negligence just now.

"To be precise, the shortcomings of human nature. ”

"The shortcomings of human nature?"

"Yes, to use an analogy, for example, if you are bitten on the leg by a crocodile now, what is your first reaction?"

"Kick it with the other leg, and the crocodile will naturally release its mouth when it hurts. ”

"It's a solution, but have you ever wondered what if the crocodile bites your other leg along with it?

Xiao Aochen pouted, a little disagreeing with the words of the thousand-faced man, and couldn't help but retort: "But legs are very important, without legs, you can't walk, you can't practice martial arts, does Mr. want me to give up my legs and run for my life?"

"The answer is up to you, I'm just telling you two truths through this story, one is the importance of observing the environment, maybe you have a weapon next to you, whether you poke it with a branch or hit it with a stone, it's better than kicking it with your legs, and the second is that when there are two or more options for a thing, you must be prepared for the worst, because many times things are often worse than you think. ”

The Thousand Faces man did not answer Xiao Aochen's question, but expressed the truth contained in the story, and many times the details determine everything.

For example, if a person is angry and in a bad mood, and a cat appears next to him, then he will have a high probability of kicking the cat, and the cat has done something wrong? No! Is it useful to kick the cat? It is useless! This seems to be a person's mood to vent, but in fact it is useless, but it is likely to be a vicious circle and make things worse. ”

"If I just kick a rock, the bad guy kicks the cat. ”

Xiao Aochen began to think that Mr.'s class was interesting, which was much easier than being thrown into the alchemy furnace by his grandfather to stew and thrown to the trap array to suffer.

"Look at things to see the essence, not the surface, just like a tree, no matter how lush it grows, its nutrients are still provided by the roots, to tell you this story, not to let you choose what to kick, but people should not be angry at all, no matter how big or bad things they encounter, first of all, they should be calm, angry, tantrums, and can't solve the problem. ”

The thousand-faced man spoke slowly, and his words were appropriate, and Xiao Aochen listened with relish, and only occasionally interjected to ask a sentence or two.

Xiao Aochen took the words of the thousand-faced man for granted, nodded vigorously, and said solemnly: "Sir, Chen'er remembers." ”

"These are all introductory ones, but they are the simplest and most practical, and I can only continue to teach you more deeply if you can flexibly apply them to your life. ”

"Chen'er must learn from Mr. ”

Xiao Aochen's eyes flashed when he heard this, the entry is so interesting, what kind of in-depth will it be? Such a useful learning, even if grandpa didn't tell him, he would learn it from his husband well.
